Edvard Munch, Norway's most popular artist, is looked upon as one of the most significant influences on the development of German and Central European ____________.

Edvard Munch (Norwegian pronunciation: [muŋk], 12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) - a Norwegian Symbolist painter, printmaker and an important forerunner of expressionistic art.
Expressionism, as a cultural movement, originated in Germany at the start of the 20th-century. It sought to express the meaning of "being alive" and emotional experience rather than physical reality. It is the tendency of an artist to distort reality for an emotional effect.
